BA Computer Science TESC

Sandra the ACE Calc wasn't a problem. Curiously enough, John Hopkins recommends the USDA Graduate School Calc courses for potential MBA students needing a Calc background. A note about Calculus...there are a couple of different tracks that are offered in college. The first is for Engineering/Science pre-med majors covering Calc w/Analytic Geometry I - IV, the second is for non-engineering majors and usually covers just General Calc I & Calc II.

The second track normally emphasizes the practical application of Calc in the fields of Business, Social Sciences, etc.....The USDA Graduate school and Straighterline Calc courses are the second type. They provide the basics and cover the practical application of Calculus. The newer textbooks are typically written in a more student friendly way, giving lots of current real world examples of how Calc can be used to solve complex problems.

In general.....a BS Computer Science curriculum would typically require the first type and 8 additional hours of advanced Physics w/Calculus courses. This becomes a real planning issue since they have to be taken in sequence. In other words a student should begin the Calc and Physics sequences their first semester in college. A BA Computer Science would typically require/accept just General Calc I & Calc II which is why this degree is popular, especially among late bloomers. I hope this makes sense.
